Great Eclipse of 2017

Remember, everyone, if you stare at it head-on, it'll burn your eyes out.



Even if you're so curious about it that your friends call you whiskers because you're curious like a cat.

 

It's a simple question, Norm. If you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

 

And pick up a wig or two.

 

I won't lie. When I read that the last full eclipse to occur entirely within the US was in 1776, it made me wonder.

 

"You only cover us when when the moon passes between the sun and Earth and the moon occults the sun directly over us."

 

Unless an eclipse path magically jumps from large city to large city like a laser beam, it will always predominantly hit red counties.

 

You did well in geography as a lad. Good for you. Actually, since no totality is in New England, I'm surprised the Globe is covering it at all.

 

Boston Globe: Check out our ridiculous coverage of the eclipse. No one will top this.

Washington Post: Hold my beer:

 

My daughter-in-law has an aunt that lives in Charleston, SC, right in the path of totality. She, my son, their kids and my daughter are driving over there for the big event. Other son is going to Arkansas to watch it. We'll get 85-90% here, and I'm good with that.

 

My county was one of the only blue ones in my state!
